SUCCESS
STORIES...

"BEAUX"

A very special guy now has
a very special dog! Beaux has found his new Dad and it looks like a perfect
match (August 2007). I think his new Dad needs him asmuch a Beaux needed a wonderful
home. I am thrilled for both of them.

July
3, 2007Beaux
is an 18 month old, AKC registered, white Standard Poodle(no
papers go with him however). He was born here. He is neutered
andUTD
on all his vaccinations. He has had some obedience training, is housebroken,
was/is? crate trained, loves to hang out with the humansand
play! He is very high energy and needs to be the only dog. He is
not agressive but is somewhat "territorial" about his human and did not do well
with the dog who was already in the household. Beaux was initially rehomed after his home life
changed, and he went to live with a gal who alreadyhad a Standard.
Beaux did well in most everything and adjusted to his newhome
extremely well, but would try to intimidate the other Poo into stayingaway
from the human etc. They tried alot of things to help Beaux feel
safe and
relaxed, but he has persisted in this behaviour. Since he is the
"new guy on the
block" (he has been there about 6 months) he needs to find another placeto call
his own, ALL his own! He is not dog aggressive when out playing,
goingfor
walks etc. He is just very insecure and needs to be someone's special
boy.Application,
Adoption Fee and Contract are required.

"LAYLA "

Layla struck gold with her
new home this past week (May 2007). Rumor hasit that she is living like
a princess with her "subjects" well under control. A fitting end for this
royal red girl!

"SAM"

Sam was barely two years old
when he arrived here. He had already sired severallitters. He was filthy,
skinny, smelly and matted. He had severe ear infections, andseveral types of worms.
He was extremely shy and unsure of everything. He was put on ahealthy diet, bathed and groomed,
we got his ears healthy, got rid of all of the internalparasites and microchipped
him.

Then we just worked on
learning to trust. It took awhile before he would even come tome on his own. But once we
crossed that threshold, we had FUN! He learned to playwith toys, walk on a leash,
go for walks, get lots of good rubs and just hang out. Sambecame a new man, he won us
over with his soft eyes and warm heart.

Sam lived with us for
about 6 months. One day, a great couple arrived and wanted tomeet him. He now lives
with his wonderful new Mom and Dad, on a small ranch nearYosemite National Park.
He takes RV trips and goes for long walks with his family.He continues to learn to love
and trust.

"MEGAN"

Megan did not have a good life.
She arrived in terrible condition, so matted thatshe had to be shaved to the
skin. You could smell the ear stink from yards away. Hernails were so long that her
toes were raised up off the floor and bent to the side. Megshad learned to just roll with
the punches and come up and try again.

She is truly a special soul.
You could not help but smile when she looked at you with thoseamazing eyes. It was a gift
to wake up in the morning with Megan's head resting on the sideof the bed, looking at you
and welcoming the day. It took me a long time to find the perfecthome for Megs and it happened
by beautiful accident. She now lives with Barry and Nancyand has the life she has so
deserved..

"ELLA"Picture coming soon.I saw Ella advertised for
quite some time as a "good breeder". Her picture was ofthis obvious new Mom, looking
so anxious and unhappy. I "watched" this ad for some time.I somehow felt very drawn
to this dog and could finally take it no longer. I contacted agood friend and asked her
if she could "house" this dog if I bought her (I had a brand newlitter and couldn't risk bringing
an unknown dog in). She happily agreed and thus we came tohave Ella. She came from a
Puppy Mill, had several litters and was sold when she was no longerproducing up to par.
Ella learned everything quickly and became a loving member of her fosterhousehold. I found a
wonderful couple who were searching for a companion to fill a gap intheir lives. Ella has
fit the bill. She is now the queen of her domain, ruling her new
parentswith a soft touch and lots
of love.

ONE BY ONE ...

One by One, they pass by my cage, Too old,
too worn, too broken, no way. Way past histime, he can't run and play. Then they shake
their heads slowly and go on their way.

A little old man, arthritic and sore, It
seems I am not wanted anymore. I once had a home,I once had a bed, A place that was warm,
and where I was fed. Now my muzzle is gray,and my eyes slowly fail. Who wants a dog
so old and so frail?

My family decided I didn't belong, I got
in their way, my attitude was wrong. Whateverexcuse they made in their head, Can't justify
how they left me for dead. Now I sit in thiscage, where day after day, The younger dogs
get adopted away.

When I had almost come to the end of my rope,
You saw my face, and I finally had hope. Yousaw thru the gray, and the legs bent with
age, And felt I still had life beyond this cage. Youtook me home, gave me food and a bed, And
shared your own pillow with my poor tired head.

We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low,
You love me so dearly, you want me to know. I mayhave lived most of my life with another,
But you outshine them with a love so much stronger.And I promise to return all the love I can
give, To you, my dear person, as long as I live.

I may be with you for a week, or for years,
We will share many smiles, you will nodoubt shed tears.

And when the time comes that God deems I
must leave, I know you will cry and your heart,it will grieve. And when I arrive at the
Bridge, all brand new, My thoughts and my heart willstill be with you. And I will brag to all
who will hear, Of the person who mademy last days so dear.
